Giants center fielder Angel Pagan provided free tacos for the whole country by stealing second base in Game 2 of the World Series as part of a Taco Bell promotion.

Yesterday was the day for everyone to come claim their tacos and Pagan spent the afternoon hanging out at a Taco Bell in Redwood City, California, where he worked the drive-thru window, made the tacos, and helped give them away.

An actual Pagan quote from the above video: “I feel happy that I brought everyone together in the United States and it’s a great moment for all America.”

And there’s some good news: If you missed out on the “great moment for all America” yesterday you can, you know, just buy a taco today for like a dollar.

“I feel happy that I brought everyone together in the United States and it’s a great moment for all America.”

Yes, this ranks up there with the moon landing, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil Rights Act, and the Declaration of Independence. When a man, by his own sheer force and will, can steal a base and feed a nation of millions, it is indeed a proud moment to be an American.

What I find most impressive is that Pagan was able to say that with a straight face.

True dat. My dad’s first comment when he moved to Florida, “Why is everyone so fat?” (In a heavy Spanish accent, it sounds funnier.)

Yes! Finally! Pagan is a MONSTER! I’m glad we could agree on this ‘burg. Your stance on his “dreamyness” has been untenable. Its nice to see you’ve recovered from your Dark & Stormy induced mental lapse. I blame FC for that. He’s a miscreant.

Ha! No sleep and baseball withdrawal has made me cranky. Pagan is still a mighty fine POA. He just needs to not talk; he ruins everything when he opens his mouth. And as others have mentioned, he was being a good sport.
